jackso11 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Right, I have managed to source some black sunvisors from the states and now want to cover the inside of my aerotop roof panel in something black instead of the grey felt kind of stuff thats on it now. Any ideas? I want it to be as close to stock furry stuff as possible. Is it just felt? I don't want Alacantara feel really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Get another roof lining to match then cut out a section to do the roof panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee from China Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 how about getting it flocked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought all hardtops with black roof lining had vinyl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesArup Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 how about getting it flocked? Yeah, that! Should do the job very nicely, and not too expensive from what I hear. Not got any in my car, but seen/felt it in Dude's and it's really good. Cheers, J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesArup Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Nah, mine is all original, but I've seen the result of flocking on the dash in Dude's car, and it sounds like it would do the job you are after. Maybe give Dude a shout, I'm sure he can provide more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 facelifts came with vinyl roof linings (black), pre facelifts came with felt ones (also black). Or that was the case with my 98NA and 94UK, Never seen a gray headlining, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcAB10 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 i have a black vinyl roof in my '95 pre-facelift, not sure if the fact it's an SZ-R makes a differance.. also, the black vinyl is WAY nicer than the grey felt imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to disagree. I think the grey felt is alot nicer. Until i get the black vinyl/felt then this will be best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your original lining would be brushed nylon if it's a pre facelift which they only do in greys but there is a wool headlining in black (not sure how that looks though:rolleyes:. http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/c-77-headlinings.aspx There must be other companies who would do similar.
